Cornell Club of Mid-America Event

Cornell Club of Mid-America

The Cornell Club of Mid-America (located in Kansas City and serving both Kansas and Missouri) held its annual “Holiday Party and Scholarship Fundraiser” at the home of Marty ’63 and Dianne ’66 Lustig.  Zachary Ruben ’11, a professional photographer and videographer, was able to get the group together to take the attached photo.  In the picture is also one of our Club’s professional chefs, Allen Wright ’87–he’s the really tall guy in the back—who helped with food preparation.
